"During the winter months, the constellation Auriga rides high in the Northern Hemisphere sky. It's brightest star Capella is in fact a gravitationally bound star system comprising four stars in binary pairs. Two are bright yellow stars each with a mass 2.5 times that of the sun. Two small red dwarf stars make up the other binary pair. Capella is a relatively nearby star system only 43 light years distant from our planet".
